Registration with the trade register

A registered office address is a legal requirement of all companies, other legal forms such as coops and partnership and even self-proprietorships established in the Netherlands. Its purpose is to provide the trade register, Dutch tax authorities and other government bodies with an official address for delivering statutory mail and legal notices, as well as for keeping the company’s shareholder registers.

The registered address does not need to be in the same part of the country where your main commercial activities are carried out, but does need to be a full, physical postal address with a dedicated desk or office space for your business. The use of a residential address is permitted, but many people prefer to keep their home details private.

If a company is registered with the Dutch trade register, an address shall be available as visiting address. If favored also a postal address can be registered. For registration of a company, proof of the right to use the business address shall be provided. Therefore, a copy of the rental agreement shall have to be shown.

This also applies if the registered address will be located in a shared office center or multi-tenant building. If it appears from the lease that the office space, or a desk at the address, can be used permanently, the address can be used for registration as a visiting address at the trade register. This does not mean that there shall always be someone present, but the possibility shall be there to be permanently present.

Registration of a new or changed office address of any type of legal entity or branch office can be done at the trade register by means of a form signed by one of the directors. ABiLiTieS Trust offers full secretarial support to handle registration and can provide an updated extract in English language with apostille within 24 hours.
